Run for Sunday, July 18, 2010

NOTE:(First 4.5 miles was definitely a run. After that "Ranger Rules" kicked in and we made certain no one was left behind. Always makes the breakfast and social time a little more pleasurable...once your body tells you it's all right to eat.)

BENEFITS

Effort-Based Training:- short periods of stress, followed by rest, is the key to increased fitness- workouts will leave you tired, but not so tired you could not do the same workout in two-to-three days

Tempo Runs:- teach the athete to run relaxed at efforts close to racing effort- teach the body to use lactate more efficiently
